A Medieval Encounter by Aubrey Wynne
I enjoyed this Merlinian tale. The story is so interesting, easy to follow, very vivid, and wonderfully written. I was transported right into the story. I could feel every breath, caress, flutter in my heart, and the warmth of love right along with the characters. I cannot wait for the continuation of this story! At the end, I exclaimed my happiness. You will fall in love with Rolf and Melissa and wish for their happiness and for Merlin’s curse to be broken. I LOVE ROLF!

X Marks the Spot - Kimmie Easley
Jolene Miller is trying to leave her past behind her, as well as the family business. She has become a lawyer in San Diego and is involved in a relationship with Brad, a fellow attorney at the company she works for. But when she receives a phone call from her sister, Jessa asking her to come home she finally does so.
Once home she discovers that her childhood love, Ronin Steele has been accused of murder and he claims he is innocent. Will Jolene be able to help him and find out if there is a traitor in among The Executioners, the motorcycle club to which her father is the president and Ronin a member.
I really enjoyed this book and all of the tension among everyone as there was definitely a lack of trust in the club with Ronin being charged with murder. I loved the relationship between Ronin and Jolene as they began to discover what had happened between them and why Jolene disappeared.
I absolutely loved the character of Ruth! She was definitely the one that kept everyone together and grounded. It's still interesting to see how the members "viewed" women, even in this day.
I can't wait to see where this series goes!
Racing Hearts by Marcia James
Tom "Torque" Tyler is 33 years old and was a race car driver until a car accident off the track leaves his racing career over and his future uncertain.
Meg Klein has been called in by Tom's parents to assist him by providing a dog that is able to detect seizures that Tom is having. Although Tom is initially reluctant to take the dog he does and almost right away it benefits him.
Tom and Meg have known each other for years and both are attracted to each other but both have reservations about getting involved. Will they give themselves a chance at love or are the risks too high?
This was a great book and I loved realness relating to the feeling of helplessness that Tom had and how difficult is was for him to get help.

Wow! Another amazing read by Kelly Collins!
Michelle "Mickey" Mercer has just gotten out of the Denver Women's Correctional Facility, after spending the last year in jail. She is looking forward to getting back to her ranch and getting her life back together. Yet no one is there to pick her up when she gets out and she begins the long walk home.
Detective Kerrick McKinley picks Mickey up and instantly feels the need to protect her from everything that is going wrong in her life. Yet, he does not want a relationship with her due to his fear of relationships.
The two form a hot and cold friendship that neither really want to give up. Kerrick does all he can to help Mickey get her life back, and get rid of her ex-boyfriend Morgan who ended up putting her in jail in the first place. When Kerrick isn't there when Mickey needs him will he blame himself and ruin everything they have worked so hard to attain?
I loved the relationship, or lack of, between Kerrick and Mickey. It is so important to realize the amount of damage verbal abuse can do on a person, even if they have no idea they are really receiving it. This book had intensity, loyalty and some twists you never saw coming. I also loved that the book was a totally unique idea!

I love these two and Ryan!! Beth is wonderful and there are definitely reasons to why she is so guarded and afraid! The dedication shown by both Sean and Ryan can be seen as a little creepy but I did really enjoy their loyalty to each other and those around them!
I can't wait to learn more about this family!!!
